If all the asteroids in the solor system impacted with jupiter would it be
enough mass to cause jupiter to ingnite? |

Jupiter already contains well over 70% of the extra-solar mass in the solar system. Even if all the planets and asteroids and comets joined in, it wouldn't grow even 50%. If you limit the growth to just the asteroids, the growth would be pretty miniscule as a percentage. -- Remove del for email |

Jupiter has a surface gravity about 210 % more than Earth. Suns core is 40% 0f its total mass. Great heat and pressure there treBert |
